Chapter 477, I Won’t Let You Off Too Easily

Translator: Silavin

 

The three Ghost Guards performed their duties. Each wielding a different weapon, they attacked the Hell Guardians head-on, attempting to intercept them to stop their pursuit.

 

The Hell Guardians definitely possessed Combat Power, but they were not considered strong in the normal sense of the word. After all, their utility was mostly in a suicide-attacks. Once they blew up, they would inflict various Poison Debuffs on their enemies. They were not made for direct combat.

 

Facing three Level 90+ Ghost Guards, these small Hell Guardians naturally was no match against them. They were easily slain – almost immediately.

 

However, after they got killed, their body suddenly exploded, transforming into Poisonous Mist and poison liquid, enveloping all the Ghost Guards.

 

The poison from them originated from the same source as Ji Ji’s poison, with no distinction of which was stronger or weaker.

 

If even the Level 100 Zhuang Meng could not withstand Ji Ji’s poison, how could these Ghost Guards withstand it?

 

At once, all three Ghost Guards were Corroded by the Poison Debuffs. They fell from mid-air, writhing in pain. Not only did their Attributes plummet, but their bodies were also being dissolved at a visible rate.

 

At the same time, apart from Lu Fan, no one noticed that these Poisonous Mists were not just lingering around the Ghost Guards.

 

Some Poisonous Mists, like invisible tiny insects, were drifting with the wind toward Ning Tu’s direction.

 

However, these particles in the Poisonous Mists had no aura and were extremely tiny. They were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, let alone guard against.

 

Ning Tu naturally did not notice that he had been targeted by these moving Poisonous Mists. He was still on the back of the Ghost Shadow, urging her to escape with all her might.

 

Unfortunately, though he wanted to escape, how could it be so easy?

 

In mid-air, a red light flashed again, cutting across Ning Tu’s body.

 

Ning Tu immediately noticed that he was being attacked, but he did not care at all because he was very confident in his Defensive Skill.

 

As someone who has a Tamer Type Hidden Profession, one generally has Skills that increase ones’ survivability. This would allow them to command their Summons to attack their enemies while they had the ability to protect themselves.

 

Ning Tu, as a Hidden Profession, Puppet Master, was naturally the same.

 

The bell-shaped manifestation around his body was even more overpowered than the Holy Shield Knight’s Holy Light Protection. It could not only block 100% of any Attack but also lasted for a full five minutes!

 

Moreover, these five minutes were counted from the moment he was attacked.

 

In other words, even if Ning Tu was now attacked by Lu Fan’s Summons, he would still have five minutes of Invulnerability.

 

Using these five minutes, Ning Tu was confident that with the help of Ghost Shadow, he could escape from here.

 

However, things did not go as planned. What attacked him was not an ordinary Summon but a Dragon born to be an assassin, the Shadow Dragon King, Ye Sha!

 

Ye Sha’s Passive, Shadow Dragon Blade, allows him to ignore all Defensive Skills. Naturally, that meant Ning Tu’s Defensive Skills had no effect against Ye Sha.

 

When Ye Sha’s Shadow Assassination was unleashed, the red light directly broke through Ning Tu’s bell-shaped manifestation and slashed into his body.

 

“Ah!” Ning Tu cried out in pain. He was shocked to discover that the lower part of his body below his waist had separated from him, with blood spraying frantically from the wound.

 

[I, a mighty Level 100, actually got bisected in mid-air with my Skill still active!?]

 

Not only him, but his Ghost Shadow was also cut in half, falling from mid-air along with his body, landing with two *plops* on the ground.

 

Ning Tu also fell to the ground, with the intense pain causing him to clutch his wound. He could not help but continuously scream out in agony.

 

Although his Ghost Shadow was cut in half, Ning Tu had a Skill to restore her.

 

But now, feeling his Life Force was continuously draining from his wound, how could he have the sanity to cast a Skill on his Puppet?

 

Right now, he just wanted a Priest to quickly cast a Healing Skill on him. Otherwise, he might really die here today…

 

*Rumble…* As Lu Fan used Dragon Language Replication to copy Shatter Star to strike Zhuang Meng, the Puppet’s body was severely damaged and collapsed with a boom!

 

With this, all of Ning Tu’s Puppets, including himself, were defeated.

 

After slaying Zhuang Meng, Lu Fan felt quite pleased with himself and with a step, flew to Ning Tu’s front.

 

Seeing Lu Fan arrive, Ning Tu’s eyes no longer held any of his previous arrogance. He was simply filled with anger. “What are you planning? Are you really planning to kill me!? Do you have the guts to handle the consequences!? Let me tell you, I am the Second Son of the Ning Family’s main branch! If you kill me, my Ancient Noble Family will never let you off!”

 

“Do you know that my Sister is Ning Xiang’er!? One of the top prodigies among Second Tier Ancient Noble Families! I am her most beloved Little Brother. If I die, you and everyone in the Ye Family will be dismembered and tortured to death!” Ning Tu’s roaring made Lu Fan impatiently pick his ears.

 

Then, Lu Fan turned his head and commanded Xiao Cui. “Xiao Cui, cast Spring of Life on him.”

 

“Yiiii Yiii!” Xiao Cui happily called out and casted this Healing Skill on Ning Tu.

 

Immediately, Ning Tu felt his Life Force rapidly recovering, and his wound not only did not hurt as much as before but also showed signs of healing.

 

Ning Tu thought that Lu Fan had suddenly become smarter, [So, he finally realised that I am someone he could not afford to offend.]

 

Ning Tu breathed a sigh of relief.

 

“Smart of you, kid!” Ning Tu looked at Lu Fan with resentment, regaining some composure. He planned on taking out some Healing Potions from his Inventory.

 

“But don’t think today’s matter will just pass like this. If you want to live, it depends on your next actions.”

 

“Ha ha ha…” Lu Fan gave a cold laugh, rubbing his nose as he stated. “I think Young Master Ning has misunderstood something. I asked my Pet Dragon to Heal you, not because I felt I could not afford to offend your Ning Family and wanted to resolve this matter peacefully. Absolutely not. I did this purely because I felt like, since you hurt my Senior Sister, killing you like this would be letting you off too easily.”

 

After hearing this, Ning Tu was stunned and subconsciously asked. “W-What do you mean… Ah… What is this? When did you cast a Skill on me!?”

 

Before Ning Tu could finish speaking, his screams rose again.

 

Because on his body, many parts of his skin suddenly began to rot without warning.

 

From the rotting wounds, whitish Decay continuously emerged, causing Ning Tu even more pain. Many small snake-like vines grew, opening their mouths, full of sharp teeth, gnawing at Ning Tu’s flesh.

 

At the same time, inside Ning Tu’s body, his Life Force was constantly leaking out, obviously being absorbed by something inside of him. This entity was strengthening itself while intensely torturing Ning Tu.

 

However, with Xiao Cui’s Spring of Life continuously healing Ning Tu’s injuries, replenishing his Life Force, the suffering did not end.

 

The more this happened, the longer Ning Tu’s torture was extended, allowing him to truly ‘enjoy’ every moment of this Hellish treatment.
